Explore webhook use cases in Dialogflow CX, including persisting session data with parameters, updating counts, invalidating parameters, and navigating to target flows for dynamic chatbots.

Build the first capstone appointment scheduler agent in Dialogflow CX that answers FAQs and schedules appointments via a calendar, integrating Google Calendar and Google Sheet with a Python FastAPI webhook.

Build a Dialogflow CX conversation flow to create an appointment scheduling agent, handling location and hours FAQs, validating dates, offering slots, confirming bookings, and saving to calendar and Google Sheets.

Explore exporting a Dialogflow CX agent as a JSON package or raw bytes from a project, and restoring it from a zip file to create a brand new agent.

Set up and clean the default start flow in Dialogflow CX by updating the default welcome intent and responses to guide users toward FAQs and appointment scheduling.

Create all needed intents for an appointment scheduling flow in Dialogflow CX, including deny, confirm, date, and time intents, with training phrases and meeting_date and meeting_time parameters.

Build a Dialogflow CX appointment flow with routes and pages, validate and format dates, check slot availability, present upcoming slots, confirm with name and email, and save to Google Calendar.

Demonstrates a schedule appointment flow in Dialogflow CX by showing available slots, capturing date and time, validating the selection, and confirming or denying bookings.

Finish the schedule appointment flow in Dialogflow CX by confirming user intention. Guide the user to provide date and time, check slot availability, and route to frequently asked questions.

Set up Google Calendar and Google Sheets APIs, create a service account with a JSON key, and configure access for your webhook built with Python and FastAPI.

Learn to interact with Google Calendar and Sheets using Python by setting up a virtual environment, configuring credentials, and building functions to add data, check slots, and create events.

Connect Dialogflow CX to a local webhook, configure the ngrok URL and x api key header, enable the webhook for the show upcoming slots flow, and test the integration.

Connects Dialogflow CX routes to webhooks for check slot availability, show slots for the day, and save appointments, while wiring Google Calendar and Google Sheet interactions in Python.

Learn to fetch free slots for a specific day via a calendar API, manage date formatting and time zones, and power a Dialogflow CX webhook to present available times.

Navigate to a target page from a Dialogflow CX webhook when no free slots exist, display upcoming slots, and handle slot availability with fulfillment response messages.

Learn to save appointments to Google Calendar and Google Sheets via a Dialogflow CX webhook by creating events, appending to a sheet, and mapping name, email, status, and time.

Connect your Dialogflow CX appointment scheduler agent to a website using the Dialogflow messenger and a middleware to enable interactions, and embed the HTML snippet for unauthenticated use.

Host a fast API app with the Dialogflow messenger widget, render it via a templates folder and index.html, and customize HTML, CSS, and JavaScript events to interact with the agent.
